That magneto has gone out of business again." "Don't land here!" cried Ivan Petrofsky. "Why not?" "Because we are approaching a large town Owbinsk I think it is-the police there will be there to get us. Keep on to the forest again!" "I can't!" cried Tom. "We've got to go down, police or no police." Running to the pilot house, he guided the craft so that it would safely volplane to earth.
Then they all went down to the little dock where the Chelton was tied, and Cora, with a quickness born of long experience, ascertained that there was plenty of gasoline and oil in the craft. She tested the vibrator and found the current good, though at times, when not suffering from a fit of stubbornness, the engine had been known to start with the magneto. But it was not safe to depend on it.
Give me that pistol!" Josh, hesitating, obeyed, whereupon Dolph Gage let down the hammer noiselessly, next dropping the weapon into a pocket of his own badly-frayed overcoat. "Now, get the magneto back, as I told you. I'll take care of the wires and see that they don't snap or get tangled." This latter part of the work was quickly executed.
While the men were obeying, Gage reclimbed the ladders. Roping about a third of the dynamite sticks, and passing a loop over one shoulder, he succeeded in carrying the dynamite below. In two more trips he brought down the rest. The fourth trip he came down with a magneto and several coils of light firing wire. On account of their industry the time slipped by rapidly.
With his approval, German manufacturing companies were organized at Bridgeport and elsewhere to buy up the machinery and supplies essential to the production of powder, shrapnel, and surplus benzol; arrangements were made with the Bosch Magneto Company to enter into contracts with the Entente for fuses and at the last moment to refuse to complete the contract.
Rowdy tugged at the rope that confined him and growled savagely. Jack's face went white as he reached for the switch. He looked at the other boys in wonder. The Fortuna's engines came to a dead stop! "Pull off the hood over the engines," cried Jack to Harry who was quickly down the companion-way, "and see if the wires from the magneto are disconnected.
Dolph deftly attached the wires to the magneto, then seized the handle, prepared to pump. "All ready, now!" he whispered gleefully. "Two or three pumps, and damage will be done that it would cost at least fifteen thousand dollars' worth of material and labor to remedy. The kid engineers haven't the money and can't raise it. They'll have to give up -be driven out.
Don't let him hear your voices." "It was in the mine, sir, wasn't it?" asked one man, hurrying to Reade's side. "It must have been, Hunter. Come along, all of you. We'll go over to the shaft and take a look." Several of the men were carrying lighted lanterns. At the shaft one of the first evidences they discovered was the wires running back to the magneto.
This baffled the pair of them, and they were there until after eleven o'clock, drinking enough beer to float a barge, and confessing that it was a mystery. "Never see such a thing in ten years' experience," said the motor expert. "I'm blowed if I don't think the devil has got inside the magneto," said Biggs; and there I agreed with him.
With this form, neither accumulators, dry batteries, or spark coils are required, and consequently a greater simplicity is arrived at than would otherwise be the case. In fig. 19 we show diagrammatically the ordinary form of magneto machine. Virtually it is a small dynamo which is fixed to the side of cylinder casting, and is operated in the manner shortly to be described.
